The Beer Nut: Stay and Brew at Woodstock Inn

Written by Norman Miller/DAILY NEWS STAFF, GHS and tauntongazette.com

Guests at the Woodstock Inn Brewery in North Woodstock, N.H., can create their own beer during Brewer's Weekends at the inn.A lot of craft beer drinkers would love to brew the beers they drink but they either don’t have the time or the technical know-how to homebrew.

“It’s all instructional learning throughout the weekend,” said brewery spokesman Garrett Smith. “It’s really a melee of food and pitchers of beer.”

The Woodstock Inn Brewery started as an inn in 1983, and added the brewery in 1995.

“We were one of the largest Samuel Adams accounts in New Hampshire, and we had all of these crazy craft beers on draft and noticed better beer was selling really good, so we added the brewery,” Smith said.

During the Brewer’s Weekend, which is run on certain weekends during the fall and spring, the inn hosts 20 people at a time and typically sells out, Smith said.

The weekend begins on Friday with a reception featuring Woodstock beers and food.
